Nicola Sturgeon has expressed her anger at Boris Johnson’s decision to end funding for free covid test kits across the UK when lateral flow tests are no no longer required in England.
The First Minister committed to continuing with lateral flow packages and self-isolation guidance in Scotland for at least another month while she seeks clarity from Whitehall on funding.
The First Minister said she was frustrated that there was no guarantee on Treasury funding to carry on handing tests out to the public in Scotland when the system comes to an end in England in April.
